Two tankers carrying Saudi oil attacked in Strait of Hormuz
Maritime officials said the two vessels were hit by unknown projectiles in quick succession, with investigations continuing and no major pollution reported.
- Two oil supertankers were struck by unknown projectiles while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, maritime security consultant Marisks reported; the Saudi Bahri-operated Sidr and Sinokor-operated Senegal Prosperity were hit in quick succession.
- Renewed US-Iran hostilities prompted the strikes, as both nations exchanged fire for the first time in a month, signaling a return to active conflict around the critical energy chokepoint.
- Senegal Prosperity sustained damage to its port side, engine room, and ballast tank after being struck by 3 projectiles, with the incident occurring 31 km east of the Omani city of Khasab, Marisks said.
- United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported that a tanker was struck while completing an outbound transit, noting no casualties or environmental impact resulted from the projectiles.
- Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps continues to blockade the sea lane, which previously handled one-fifth of global oil shipments, while traffic remains well below the 10-day average of roughly 14 vessels.
